If the standby time decreases significantly after a full charge, it indicates that the power bank / rechargeable battery is nearing the end of its lifespan and may need to be replaced. If you are unsure, please contact the product supplier for further information.

  1. Remove the power bank / rechargeable battery and make sure all charging cables are unplugged.
  2. Stick tape (e.g., electrical tape) onto the metal terminals of the power bank / rechargeable battery to prevent accidental contact with the metal terminals during storage and transport, which could cause danger.
  3. Take the power bank / rechargeable battery to a battery recycling collection point for recycling.

Note: For safety reasons, if the power bank / rechargeable battery is damaged, do not put it into a recycling bin. This helps avoid contamination of the entire batch of batteries in the bin. It is recommended to seal the damaged power bank / rechargeable battery in a plastic bag first, then dispose of it together with other household waste in the trash can.

Recycling collection points for power banks / rechargeable batteries include all MTR stations and McDonald’s. They are also available at some convenience stores, residential estates, commercial buildings, etc. For the detailed locations, please check the recycling interactive map:
